Russellville police detectives have arrested a 17-year-old male in connection with an alleged armed robbery on Oct. 27, according to Public Information Officer Wilson Short.

Reports indicated a male pulled into the parking lot of National Home Center on East Main Street to use a pay phone just before 7 a.m. The 17-year-old got out of a red Dodge Neon, and both males got into an argument over an alleged theft.

The suspect then allegedly pulled a gun and asked the other male if he wanted to die before demanding an undisclosed amount of cash. After obtaining the money, he allegedly got into his car and left.

Det. Mark Frost of the department's Criminal Investigation Division stated Thursday the 17-year-old male was arrested. Charges are pending for aggravated robbery and theft of property from the Fifth Judicial District Prosecuting Attorney's Office.
